A study found increased transmission of SNAP-25/DdeI variant in Irish ADHD trios, suggesting a genetic link between the SNAP gene and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Further research is needed to confirm these findings and explore the potential of SNAP gene variants as biomarkers for diagnosis and treatment.
Dr. James Henry studies the electrical activity of nerve cells to understand how pain is transmitted to the brain. He hopes to establish collaborations among pain researchers and medical professionals to improve treatment options for patients suffering from chronic pain.
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have made significant progress in understanding the function of two proteins involved in neurotransmitter release. The study found that RIM1a is essential for long-term plasticity, a process critical for learning and memory. This breakthrough has broad implications for the development of dr...
Researchers have discovered that the compound C75 profoundly suppresses appetite by altering brain messengers in mice. This effect could lead to new ways to intervene in obesity-related diseases.
Researchers have discovered that NSF, a universal protein involved in cellular fusion and secretion, controls the speed of neurotransmitter release. Inhibiting NSF function delays transmitter release, providing new insights into the molecular mechanisms governing synaptic communication.
